AMD/Xbox reveals the Radeon RX 6900 XT Halo Infinite Edition
In their latest blog post, Microsoft has confirmed that AMD has been working with 343 Industries to optimise the PC version of Halo Infinite. These efforts include the addition of performance tweaks and memory improvements to the PC version of Halo Infinite, support for FreeSync Premium Pro, Ryzen CPU optimisations, and changes to the Halo Infinite Engine that allow the game to run better on high core count processors.Â
After launch, AMD will also be working with 343 Industries to add hardware-accelerated ray tracing to Halo Infinite’s PC version. This addition will be one of 343’s “top development priorities post-launch”.Â
Below is what Microsoft had to say about AMD’s RX 6900 XT Halo Infinite Edition.Â
  AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Halo Infinite Limited Edition graphics card: As you probably noticed if you watched the PC Overview video above, AMD and 343 Industries agreed that ushering in the next era of Halo on PC called for something a little extra – a celebration unlike anything else our companies had attempted before. After almost two years of collaboration, we’re thrilled to unveil the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Halo Infinite Limited Edition graphics card, a Halo Infinite-themed version of AMD’s flagship graphics offering.
Inspired by his newest generation Mjolnir armor, this AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card offers a custom shroud design bearing several unmistakable features from the Master Chief himself. Including a reflective, iridium gold fan border, the iconic “117†Spartan callsign, as well as a Cortana-blue light to signify the AI slot on the back of the Master Chief’s helmet.
The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT is the fastest gaming graphics card AMD ever developed and is the perfect graphics card to celebrate the release of Halo Infinite. The AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture powering our Xbox Series X|S consoles is the same architecture powering the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Halo Infinite Limited Edition graphics card, designed to deliver powerhouse performance and incredibly high-fidelity visuals for 4K gaming.
